BIRTHDAYS.

We have been considering this ques-
ton for some time, and have come to
the conclusion that it is the intemper-
ate indulgence In birthdays that makes
30 many people grow Old. No one is
IN hurry to become old except few
men who see no way to distinguish
themselves or attract public attention
except by becoming centenarians. And
yet we all invite age by keeping track
OF birthdays and celebrating them. We
get into the habit when young, and.
growing with our growth, it finally be-
comes almost impossible to shake It of.
Parents are good deal to blame for
this, encouraging their offspring as
they do to remember their birthday in
their youth. so that when they are old
they may not lose sight of it.
Occasionally you meet man who
doesn't know the day or even the year
IN which he was born. The family
Bible was loaned to q neighbor or mis-
laid about the time he made his advent
into this vale of tears, and the date
was not recorded. Or perhaps he was
away from home himself when the
event occurred, and the memoranda
was lost. At any rate he never knew a
birthday. He may have missed some
presents and congratulations as boy,
but on the whole he has been a gamer
by it, we think. He doesn't get up in o
gloomy state of mind some particular
morning in the year and say: "To-day
I am year older than I was a year
ago to-day" or "This day begins my
fortieth Cor iftieth, as the case may be)
year. Alas, I am growing old" He
is not bothered about such things at all,
but just keeps on without hardly realiz-
ing that time is flying. A man who
doesn't bother himself about birthdays
can accumulate right smart stock of
years and hardly feel the weight of
them. 1t is keeping She run of them
that makes fellow tired.
Women are less prone to keep an ex-
act account of birthdays than men.
Sometimes they let two or three pass
by without giving heed to them, par
ticularly after they are 35. II I'M
married, they commence to skip birth
days earlier than that. Men advanced
in years brag how old they are, fire.
quently, but woman never. That is
the first subject on which her memory
seems to fail her. It is an amiable
weakness, and we should not be too
hard upon her for it. It comes from
her desire to please us, and how can
